So far as trading in Omaha is concerned the people in the pouniry, so far as we have been able to 1earn, would rather stay over night in the city than to come in during the morning and leave in the evening.

The death of John Kelly was not at all unexpected. The great chiet of New York democratic politics received his death-blow, alike as a politician and as a man, a year ago last November. *‘Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.” How much of truth is contained in these words may neverbe more strikingly exemplified than in the death ot Mr. Ke! After a reign of undisputed supremacy in the publi ing over folly a half century, John Kelly deliberately placed himselt in an attitude of unqualified hostility to a mind better trained than his in the subtle- ties of political action. No two such men as Samuel J, Tilden and John Kelly could enact their parts on the public affairs without having the qu of relative power and popularity teste to the tinal issue. The story of 1879 in New York politics is a familiar one, even after a lapse of seven years, The issue between these two great men—for great they both were, althongh in different kind and degrec—~was first raised in the effort to remove Henry A. Gumbleton from the clerkship of New York county a blow aimed at the Tammany 1 followers had been literally expelled s short time before, and of which Kelly was then the head. Theim- mediate result of that contest was the an- nihilation of Lucius Robinson, then gov- ernor of New York, and the total cclipse of his influence in the politics of his na- tive state, In its after effects, itisnot too broad a statement to make, to say that it has resulted in the close of Mr. Tilden's career, and less quickly, in the ending of the life of his unyielding foe, John Kelly. No man's eareer better typifies the dis- tinguishing characteristics of American polities than that of Mr. Kelly. Born in what is now known as the Fourteenth d of New York City, of parents who had been cast upon this con- tinent without the slightest advantage of education or mechanical knowledge, Kelly's life opened in the occupation of a grate-sctter. In whatever he did he ex- celled. Ho earned his first money at this humble calling. The native Amcrican movement first brought him into promi- nence. Strong in physique, as well as in mental calibre, Kelly was those of his race who surrounded hi v their local champion. He was worthy of his cuuse; and, indeed, it is generally believed thateven the fistic arena has tes- tified to the efticacy of that championship. Twice elected sherift of New York county and once a member of congress, he has dischurged every public duty devolving upon him creditably. That he was autocratic in his conduct is indicated in every current of the poli- tics of his state and country for a decade past. At the democratic conventions in Cincinnati in 1876 and in Chicago in 1834 the gallant but fruitless attempt made by Kelly to overcome the power of his opponents within his own party will be long remembered. These successive de- feats, continued in the election of Mayor Grace a year ago last fall, tell the story of Kelly's political and physical downfall. In his death, it may truly be said that the public have lost a man true to his convictions and friends, and, however wrong-headed in his conceptions of pub- lic right, striving, at least, till his death, for the success of what he regarded as the true tenets of his own political faith. A Stale Old Job, Secretary Lamar has laid before the senate committee on territories his em- phatic protest against the passage of the bill granting the right to build a railroad through the Yellowstone park. Notwith- standing this fact and the added protests of engineers of the army, agents of the interior department, and the superintend- dent ot the park, both the senate and house committees have approved the bill. The proposed railroad was denounced by the BEE months ago as a rotten job of the first class. It is pretended that the road is required by a mining camp boyond the park limits, and that the only feasible route lies through the reserve. As a matter of fact, a3 wo then showed, the proposed route is the worst of three surveyed, the other two having been mapped by the Northern Pacific and lying entirely out- side of the reservation lines ‘What the promoters of the bill are looking after is not tho Cinnamon mines. It is the profits on passengers travellng to and from the Yellowstone park which they would trans- port over the rails luid entirely for the benetit ot the poor miner. The hiil should never see daylight nfter its consideration in the comunittoe of the whole, Its passage would destroy the primeval seclusion of a beautiful nation- al pleasure ground, drive the game from its protective sholter, and burn dows the magniticent forests, for the gainful ad- vantage of n gang of speeulators. Gen- eral Logan ought to impross his views on the subject upon a sonator woll known in Omaha, who is actively promoting the measure. When the bill came before the last congress General Logan $aid in op posing its passage: “I haye been lobbicd wore this wintor, in behalf of this rail- road by an ofticial of this government who is getting #5,000 a year, than 1 ever was before in wmy life.” The man of whom he spoke is now out of oftice, and is said to be a leader of the lobby in be- half of the same old scheme.

The investigations by grand juries in Chicago, St. Louis and N York have failed to connect a single citizen of that nationality with the bomb throwing and bloodthirsty followers of With the most search- outbreak could be trouble.

A large part of Southwest Chicago has been covered with solid brick blocks through their industry and thritt and South Omaha bears the same marks of their energy and frugality. These are not the class of men out of which anarchists are made and soci disorganizers are recruited. Why the re porters-and the press reports should hay spread such a libel upon a law- and meritorious nationality we ble to learn. The result of the investi ga- tion by the courts completely gives the lie to such statements. y asido a Their credit The B . The general improvement in the trade situation during the past weck is ey denced by the increased clearings ro- ported from the chief commercial centers. The volume of business is greater and there is a better feeling in trade circles and in some branches of industries. Business failures show a small increase in number with a decrease in the amount of liabilities mostly confined to houses of little capital and less credit. The wool raarket is slightly higher and prices of the new crop, now coming in, show an advance of 2 cents over thoso of last year at the present time. The dry goods market reports a fair trado for current wants with prices well main- tained. he iron and steel trade is fairy active, but most of the orders for the son in rails seem to have been placed. The produce markets are still weak, with a declining tendency. Trade re- vorts at the close of last week showed a decline in wheat of from 23@3} cents a bushel in all grain nters. What little support the market has had at times has como from forcign buying or from the covering of short lines influenced by sensational crop reports. The chief element of depression has been the near- ness ot harvest, which has encouraged free selling of next crop options and a general desire to unload old stocks. Some disappointment that the visible supply decreased less than 1,800,000 bushels, instead of 38,000,000 bush- els, as had bean expected, helped the deeline in prices. There are the usual rumors of crop dumage by in- sccts that are so plentiful on the ex- changes at this stage of the season, but no serious injury is reported from any seetion, and from present indications there is little doubt but that a full crop will be harvested in good condition. Corn has been comparatively quiet for export, and with & larger interior movement prices generally have declined § to 4 of & cent per bushel, The corn average this yeur is full, and the crop outlook is fav- orable, although replanting has been 'y in several localities owing to ve rains. The export and home trade in hog products continues good, but there is little speculation, and with large receipts of hogs at packing centres prices of pork are 80 cents per barrel lowar. Sugar-cured and smoked meats ure generally strong and a shade higher, — Real Estate in Omaha. The BEE is in constant receipt of letters asking for its opinion on the real estate market. Our correspondents are auxious to learn whether the advance in property “will last’’ and whether lots in ‘‘Peach- blow” and “‘Papillion View'' additions re desirable investments in our opinion, \o Bk does not pretend to be a prophet and it has no relations with the “W of Wall street.” On general principl ussumes that Omaha real estate is a good investient, Property to-day, within & reasonnbloe distance from the court house, is not high when compared with city lots in other cities of our size and prospects. Farm lands cut up into “eity lots” five and six miles from the city are at present and must be for some time to come purely speculative investments. They may prove a bonanza for the real estate agent, but they are not desirable for per- manent holding. We have already enough additions laid out to accommo- datea city of haif a million people, but #till the platting goes on toward Papillion and Fremont if all that is needed to BOC] population is to stake out lots in the country for future use. The advance of property within the ocity limits of Omaha is not speculative. It is based on substantial reasons. One of these s that business men and workingmon prefer to live as close to their business and shops as their weans will permit, Property adjacent to the business portion of the city is on this acedunt desirable for improvement by actual owners for their own use or for rent. The demands of inereasing busi- ness and the assurance of good rents from business houses, together with the steady extension of solid improvements in the business part of the city, are the solid foundatious upon which the advance in business property is based. Investment is one thing and specnla- purchaser of real estate, either on cash or mortgage, is torexamine what a fair interest retarn on the property if improved will bring him and then to connt the cost. Speculators, of course, must take the chances of speculation in real estate jnst the same in stocks or wheat.

Porter $1,000 for writing the high tariff speech which he re- cently delivered in the house of represent atives, a production which would ha been dear for a dollar, as Porter's argu- ments never hang long enough together to admit of transportation. Frightened Ostriches, Crete Vidette. Ao Van Wyck and Dorsey have introduced bills authorizing the Unlon Pacific to build branch lines. And for this action they are aceused of having gone back on the people. Still they,have presented petitions to congress signed by 50,000 Nebraskans praying for the passage of these same bills. If the anti- Wyck mob of Nebraska had some method of concealing their heads, they would puss mus- ter as being an elegant Hock of frightened ostriches. Ll Why Omaba is Getting Away with Kansas City, Chicago News. It appears that Owaha is threatening to rival Kans’ City, as Ahogreat porkpacking town of the country, Fowler Brothers have just begun the erection of an enormous plant in the former city and ‘another great packing finm 18 hunting for ‘4n " bvailable site in Omaha, This condition bf affairs in the Missouri valley is almost 'wholly aue to the lamentable fact that of fatp Kans' City folks have been paying less "atiention to pork ana more attention wo the arts, and sciences as represented by the Mapleson opera company and the National league base ball games, e Five Cents a a Busliel for Corn, Chicago +&ritune, A receiver in this city yesterday forwarded to a shipper in Nebraska Just five cents per bushel as his share on aconsignmant of corn ‘The property had been sold In store here at twenty-seven cents per bushel, iwenty-two cents of which went to pay railread cost of transportation, the storage and emmission, In another case this week, the Nebraska shipper received the magnificent sum of $20,50, being the whole amount coming to him from the sale of a carload of some 5% bushels of corn, the freigat on which to this city was $147.50. The average of charges on these two parcels was five times, and the warehouse charges alone one-quar- ter the sum remitted to the country shipper of the corn, T Keen Irony. Fremont Tribune, The keenest irony wo have' seen for a long thne was the BEk's editorial a few days ago on “Van Wyck and Harmony.” 1{ declures for a | that untll Van Wyek stuck his nose into Ne- braska politics everything was ealm and sérene, and the aquatic fow! occupied a very handsome altitude, No man ever eontested another man’s right to walk away on a nom- ination in those days--of course not! Why should they? Van Wyck wasn't here to create dissensions. And at the present time, the Ber elaims, if Van Wyck could only elearly seo his duty and get out of the wa; of the half-dozen or dozen other candidates, they would each be so eager to withdraw in favor of the others and rush together so hard as to break their necks. It is cruel and naughty in Van Wyck to insist on remain- ing a candidate under these circumstances, el ki The Result of Competition, Fremot Herald, imply as a matter of information,” the Nebraska City News would ask if the Union Pacific has ever built a branch road that has paud running expenses or even a fair rate of interest on the money invested. We eannot answer the question, The News says it has no warfare to make, but “the people of the South Platte will remember how they were compelled to suffer financially because we Union Pacifie defeated the pro rata bill—the only measure that could give them any ve- lief. Had the U n Pacific pro rated with the B, & M. from Kearney east, it would have been worth a million dollars annually to the South Platte. In those days the Union Pa- cific was a monopoly of the worst kind, but sharp competition has driven a little sense into the heaas of its managers.” Will Be Appreciated by the Old Sol- diera. Crete Vidette, Senator Van Wyck’s fight i the senate to increase the minimum pension for disabled veterans will be appreciated by the old sol- diers of the west. The bill as passed by the senate provides for the support of a large number of of impoverished but deserving sol- diers of the war, It places upon the pension list honorably dischargad soldiers who have no means of support in proportion to their disability, whether their disabilities were ac- quited in e service or not. Senator Van Wyck proposed and supported an amend- ment to make $8 per month the minimum for pensions in snch cases. In his speech supporting this amendment the senator oshowed that under existinglaws beneficiaries f the government may receive as little as $1 amonth, and from that up to fractions of a dollar. A maximum rate Is allowed, and then the sum is graded down according to the ideas of the vension department, Sena- tor Van Wyek insisted that if a soldier 1s en- titled to any pension at all he is certainly entitled to $5. His arguments suceceded in inducing the senate to make the minimum $4 instead of $1, av formerly, and thus amended the bill passed and was sent to the louse. Sei The Assessor’s Unhappy Lot.
